Lake Eola just got a little gayer.
The city this week unveiled a new rainbow-wrapped swan boat to celebrate Pride Month this June.
The city says the loud and proud swan boat came to be courtesy of District 4 Commissioner and LGBTQ+ advocate Patty Sheehan.
“Whether you’re a local or just visiting, we hope this brings a little extra joy to your day and serves as a year-round reminder that we are, and always will be, Orlando United,” the city wrote in a social media announcement.
The rainbow swan follows the city’s reveal of a special gold-wrapped swan in late 2025 to celebrate the boats’ first ever launch 100 years ago.
Lake Eola Swan boat rentals — gay, gold and otherwise — are available Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for a 30-minute ride and are available for purchase at the Lake Eola Swan Boat Dock along the lake. Boats seat up to five riders. Pets and service animals are welcome.
